Bas Van Pelt armchairs in solid oak and straw, the Netherlands 1940s

Creator: Bas Van Pelt
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Most likely designed in the mid 1940s by Bas van Pelt these armchairs are true crossover works. The basic structure is shaped quite traditionally, as are the front of the armrests, their fluid lines however end very delicately where they come together with the frame and create a marvellous contrast with the pointy shaped back. Using natural materials the designer created a friendly and inviting appearance and works that are very much on par with the straw works of contemporaries like Charlotte Perriand. Due to the well chosen proportions these chairs provide great comfort.

Bas Van Pelt (1900-1945) is a well-known Dutch interior and furniture designer, known for the clarity and quality to be seen in his designs. Leaving away any decorative elements, van Pelt’s 1930s-1940s work stands out and his style is considerably progressive for this era.
